The official website for the Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works film began streaming a new trailer on Friday. The all-new animated production will cover the Unlimited Blade Works storyline from Type-Moon's game franchise. The film will open in Tokyo's Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro and at least 11 other theaters throughout Japan on January 23.

Director Yuji Yamaguchi, series script supervisor Takuya Sato, character designer and chief animation director Megumi Ishihara, and Studio DEEN are returning from the Fate/stay night television series. Voice cast members Noriaki Sugiyama, Ayako Kawasumi, Kana Ueda, Noriko Shitaya, Mai Kadowaki, Miki Itou, Junichi Suwabe, Yuu Asakawa, and Jouji Nakata will also reprise their respective roles. The CD single of Sachi Tainaka's re-recorded "disillusion -2010-" opening theme song from the television series has been delayed two days to January 22.

Last September, Funimation released a Fate/stay night anime series box as one of its first anime DVDs from its distribution deal with Geneon Entertainment. Geneon Entertainment had ceased in-house distribution of its own titles in 2007. Tokyopop has been publishing Datto Nishiwaki's manga version in North America since last October.
